Sorry but I can't let go of this DS Campbell's stupid remark comparing PSU to his tech. 1. PSU didn't hire lawyers to get an injunction, 2. Fired head coach and AD, 3. JoePa stripped of wins, 4. $60M fine, 5. 4 year ban from postseason,  6. 5 year probation,  7. Lose of 20 scholarships per year. 

Tech penalty: 1. QB sits first two games, and that's it!!!! Wait 2. Everyone is being mean to them

Sorry, had to get it off my chest.

I don’t think Texas Tech has positioned themselves well at all for an invitation into a super conference unless we’re well past 40 teams.

Institutions do not want to associate them.

CJ said they HAD positioned themselves well, but just ruined it all with this Sorsby nonsense. I think yall might be on the same page.

I hope Cody and TTech continue to double down. It’ll damage the program and brand even more so. It doesn’t even matter what courts say when the ENTIRE public is against them. It’s crazy to watch them daily digging their own grave even deeper. 

Cody Campbell is the only booster alive who can spend millions and still look like he’s trying to sit at the grown‑ups table - and the fact Tech fans are defending him explains everything about Tech.

They keep making it worse for themselves.

They are also defending themselves by saying that are not part of the lawsuit, but they were the ones who filed the original paperwork to get him reinstated.  Also, as pointed out Sorsby has repented and admitted his faults, but only after he was caught.  I also wonder about legal action such as him betting in Texas, betting under age, and also it seems there may have been some interstate issues.

This AD statement has to be one of the most despicable, self serving, self excusing, disingenuous, obtuse piles of tripe filled hypocrisy I have read in quite sometime.  

I beg to differ, both the system and situation are binary.  Black or white, right or wrong it is an immutable well defined red line which has, in this case, knowingly and intentionally subverted and crossed over 9,000 times by a single individual.  

Mind you, this is an individual that went so far as to distribute funds to others to enjoin them in concealment of his nefarious dealings.  Clearly conspiratorial throughout.  And, we, the public and rest of the sporting world are to turn a blind eye to this insecure, narcissistic booster orchestrated assault of all of sport globally under said booster's faux nihilistic claims of saving college sports.

Nobody’s calling for the perfect answer. Just do what is right

I find it funny that they will only help him with his addiction by allowing him to be around the one thing that has fueled his addiction - football. Sounds like they will only help him, as long as he plays for them.

Apart from that, he's broken numerous laws with his gambling and it's just straight not allowed in college sports or any sport, at any level. People have been punished for less than what Sorsby has done. 

On top of that, for Campbell to compare the situation to Penn State is hilarious. Penn State got severely punished for those events. Tech got the equivalent of a slap on the wrist.

It is NOT new, rules concerning gambling have been in place for a while.

Anyone who has ever gambled on a game that he / she has participated in / influenced needs to be forever removed more than arms length away from ever influencing a game again in order to protect the integrity of the game. 

Glad he is getting treatment, etc. but he went through great efforts to conceal his efforts because he knew it was wrong / illegal. If he is participating in a game, there will always be the question of "is he hiding his bets on this game again?" In order for fans to trust the outcome of a game, there can't be those questions about a player.

Exactly.  It's like saying that a bartender who is a alcoholic with DUIs should be "employed at a bar for his own well being".
